Gust up 60mph there saying on the local news; anyways I watched the neighbors trampoline sail thru the air and land around 40 feet from were it was tied down then I watched a 60 to 70 foot Fir blow over. Then I watched my neighbor come out with his chainsaw it wouldn't have been so funny if the bar was over 14 inches long ;) he was having to cut from both sides on the limbs if his wife wasn't there watching I would be taking pic's of the whole thing and if I was feeling better I would have taking care of the tree.

I don't think we had any trees go over but any amount of wind with the rain we've had sure makes it a possibility.

I know of two fatalities where a falling tree has hit a moving car, one of which was just a half mile from our house. The odds of that seem incredible, and I've wondered how much the driver is aware of what is going on. Tree like that one in Seattle vs car and the car loses every time.
